Question

Why do ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state but not solid state.explain .com?

Answer 1

Ionic compounds conduct electricity in molten state but not in solid state as in solids they are compactly packed such that their ions are not free to move, whereas when in molten state they can conduct electricity as the molecules starts moving ,after gaining kinetic energy releasing the ions to move freely......

Answer 2

Answer:

In the solid state the ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because in solid there is no free electron  and also there is no probability for the formation of ions. So ionic compounds do not conduct electricity but if the ionic compounds are in molten state then the ionic compounds form ions and therefore these ions are responsible for conduction of electricity.
